#7 Thuja Emerald Green Arborvitae

The #7 Thuja Emerald Green Arborvitae is an upright, conical-shaped evergreen conifer featuring dense, dark emerald green foliage that maintains its color year-round. This low-maintenance plant comes in a 7-gallon container and is ideal for creating natural privacy screens, hedges, or accent plantings in residential landscapes.

With a mature height of 12-15 feet and width of 3-4 feet, this moderately fast-growing evergreen thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering until established. The plant features excellent resistance to deer, disease, drought (once established), heat, humidity, and insects, with foliage that emits a pleasant pine scent. For privacy screening, plant 3 feet apart for a solid hedge, or space 6+ feet apart for individual specimens.

The plant adapts to various soil types including clay, loam, sand, or silt, preferring well-drained conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. Once established, water needs decrease significantly. The compact, narrow growth habit makes it perfect for tight spaces, foundation plantings, or framing corners, and it can also be grown in large containers for seasonal decoration.
